Combine 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, and 2 tbsp warm water in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow flavors to meld for your Thai Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Asian Slaw.

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup red bell pepper (thinly sliced), 2 green onions (thinly sliced), and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped). Toss gently to combine and set aside.
03 -
Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (thinly sliced or diced). Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and mostly cooked through.
04 -
Add 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tsp sriracha, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring chicken is fully cooked and coated.
05 -
Pour the prepared Zesty Peanut-Lime Dressing over the Vibrant Slaw Crunch mixture. Toss well to evenly coat all the vegetables. This vibrant slaw is a key component of your delicious Thai Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Asian Slaw.
06 -
Arrange 8 large butter lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Spoon the warm Savory Thai Chicken Filling into the center of each lettuce cup. Top generously with the dressed Crunchy Asian Slaw.
07 -
Garnish the Thai Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Asian Slaw with 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for a burst of fresh flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
Prep Ahead: The slaw and dressing can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored separately in the refrigerator. Toss the slaw with dressing just before serving to maintain crunch.
02 -
Spice Level: Adjust the 1 tsp sriracha in the chicken filling to your preference. For more heat, add a little extra; for less, omit or use a milder chili sauce.
03 -
Protein Swap: Feel free to substitute the chicken breast with shrimp, ground chicken, or even firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
04 -
Serving Suggestion: These wraps are fantastic on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of jasmine rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal.
